UGC Rotonde, Movie theater in the 6th arrondissement, Paris, France
UGC Rotonde is a movie theater in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, on Boulevard du Montparnasse. It has three screens with digital projection and a varied program that covers new releases, art-house films, and international titles shown in their original language.
The cinema opened in 1959 in a building that had originally served as a brasserie. In 1982, the UGC group took it over and converted it into a multi-screen venue.
The UGC Rotonde sits on Boulevard du Montparnasse, a street long associated with Parisian artistic life. The surrounding cafes and bookshops give a trip to the cinema a particular flavor that is hard to find elsewhere in the city.
The theater is easy to reach by metro, with Edgar Quinet and Montparnasse Bienvenüe stations both nearby. Booking tickets online in advance is a good idea, especially on weekends or for new releases.
The building originally served as a brasserie, and the name Rotonde comes from the famous Cafe de la Rotonde just across the street. Visitors who look up from the entrance can still see the original cafe, which has been part of the neighborhood since the early 20th century.
